Guest ThePro Posted October 8, 2008 Posted October 8, 2008 Re: What the best backup for windows 2003 Server Hi, I use CA ARCserve version 12 to backup 3 servers (one is Exchange) to a single LTO-4 tape drive and it works great. It has an excellent backup-to-disk-to tape option and the technical support is very good, even though it is from Asia (India?).

Guest BBW Posted October 8, 2008 Posted October 8, 2008 Re: What the best backup for windows 2003 Server I have been using ArcServe since 1996 and the key feature is I perform successful backups; file level, Exchange db, and sql dbs.

Guest ThePro Posted October 8, 2008 Posted October 8, 2008 Re: What the best backup for windows 2003 Server Hi, I've been using ArcServe since 1991 on Netware ! ;-) At that time it was the only enterprise-grade backup software available.

Guest ThePro Posted October 9, 2008 Posted October 9, 2008 Re: What the best backup for windows 2003 Server Hi, Yes, same for Notes, SQL, Oracle, etc. You even need an agent to backup a remote file server.

Guest Meinolf Weber Posted October 9, 2008 Posted October 9, 2008 Re: What the best backup for windows 2003 Server Hello ThePro, Will be the same for Symantec BackupExec.

Our tape backup program (BackupExec) and the tape drive are on our primary file server. On our Exchange server, we use NTBACKUP to back up the database (and remove transaction log files) to a *.BAK file on the file server. Our SQL database has SQL Server Agent jobs that back up our medical databases. I have a scheduled task that copies these files to our file server. I use this combination of tasks to get all out critical date stored on a single server. The tape backup file then backs everything to tape. -- Regards, Hank Arnold Microsoft MVP Windows Server - Directory Services
